ive just finished painting my living room today, which also has the stairs in it.......... chocolate & cream!!

I nearly went for chocolate and cream, but decided on white, looks clean and fresh and lush XX.

Hi,our hall & staircase are white,sort of artexed wallpaper.Got nice cream & brown landing wallpaper that my OH doesn't like though! We moved in last year & decided the decor will do 'for how now'
But white does show when our dog brushes against it,straight from wet garden.Argh

all white with laminated wood flooring and cream carpet on stairs.

it needs re-doing now as it has kids grubby hand marks

Thought of that, so chocolate bottom, and white top XX.

Finished painting hallway and stairs yesterday.Walls light terricotta and white paintwork.Two bedrooms cream walls and coffee coloured paintwork.My bedroom pale green walls and dark green paintwork. annie

mine is blue and gold

Hahahaha Jennifer... as I might have pointed out once or twice this year.. I live in a wreck.. the hall and landing is currently:-

one wall - bright yellow... with big bits of plaster missing
the other walls are a paler yellow on badly put up artex,
the ceiling had really lovely polestyrene tiles in a nicotin shade of yuk...they are no more...removing them has revealed a lovely mottled orange ceiling. nice LOL

The carpet at the top of he stairs is bright red and the stairs have half of one of those carpet samples from the books each a different shade of green.

All so very tasteful... wouldn't you agree LOL

I look forward to the replies for this thread as, when, BIG WHEN, I get to the good stage of this project I'll need inspiration.

Tina, if ever you need a hand, on choice of course, bless you, what a nightmare. Sleep well XX.

Hall, 2 staircases and both landings all in white with a hint of something!!..Used to be pale green but changed the carpets throughout house to pale beige so that was changed. All our wood is unpainted throughout the house, thank gawd!

Sitting room dull gold. Main bedroom, deep rose. Second bedroom, cream, third bedroom same as hallways. Bathroom pale grey and blue, would like to change that but finances say no way!

Above dado is pale lemon, below dado pale lemon wallpaper with a small terracotta trellis leaf pattern. Carpet pale lemon, curtains terracotta. Paintwork all white. AL

Years ago, when it was all the rage, we had the study, hall, stairs and upstairs landing all artexed and painted white........and as you can guess.....years later it was considered naff.....

....so we had a big alteration with new stairs, the whole lot replastered, wood flooring and modern lights.......dado rail.......and decided to paint.....

B&Q had a special offer of paint but when we put it on the wall it was slightly different from what we thought.......but looks lovely.......pearl stone on the top and a very pale lilac under the dado.......the kids think we have style......lol....

Plaster coloured, with squares of different colours ranging from green, brown and blue, teracotta and yellow.

Wooden floor in hallway, tatty grey carpet on stairs.

you may have guessed - were decorating (and have been for 18 months!!)

Going for a Victorian green on one wall with cream on the majority and a beige carpet on the stairs and landing. Two windows (small - one at top ,one at bottom) are going to have either wooden venetian blinds or cream roman blinds.

may finish it one day!

two sets of stairs, blue carpets, pale lemon
walls white woodwork.

red and cream
laminate in the hall then red carpet up the stairs and on the landing

Cor Stray....Red.... that's a brave colour.

You must be a bold one.

Ivory Cream walls and radiators, white ceilings and white satin finish doors, skirting boards and architraves. Front door white UPVC with William Morris 'Blackthorn' full length curtains, ivory lampshades and sage green carpet.
Ivory Cream is a very clean and fresh colour without being too stark.
